HI. Host.
I live in the midst of the malarial dis
ricts of Maryland, near the city Of
Washington, and am exposed to all the
dangerous influences of the impure air
and water of that region.
Being naturally Of strong consti-
tuition, | had frequently boasted that
no chills and fever or other malarious
complaint would ever trouble me.
This was my experience and the con-
dition in which | found myself six
months ago. fist noticed that | did
not feel SO sprightly and vigorous as
was my wont to do. felt tired and
enervated. Soon | noticed i distinct
and distressing back ache would make
its appearance in the afternoon, in
creasing in severity ii the exercise was
more than usually violent. Then a
stretchy feeling with proi'use gaping
made its appearance. Then my head,
always clear as ! bell. would :ccl heavy
and began to have headaches.
The Geld stage was marked with chat
tering Of ;he teeth, severe ri gors passed
over me, and no amount; Of clothing
could keep me warm. The chill was
succeeded in turn b, the fever, in which
seemed 20 be burning up, the con-
gestion in my head produced violent
pain in the ironta! portion and heat
ed sensation of the eyclids, with an in
describable aching of the lower limbs.
Nausea and vomiting occurred with
severe retchings, and when the parox-
ysms passed off l was thoroughly pros
trated by weakness that was felt in
every part Of me.
l drugged myself with qulnine, and
obtained some relief. But my respite
was of brief duration. I was now SO
much reduced that l could hardly walk
or stand upright My disease soon
eliminated in continued malarial fe-
yer which kept me closely confined for
about a week. | became exceedingly
depressed and melancholy, SO much SO
that l lost interest in my work, and
indeed, scarcely cared what happened
to me.
During all this time, it must be un-
derstood that I did not neglect medical
treatment. All the most powerful
remedies were tried, such as liquid az
senate Of potash, valeriantc OF iron,
mercury, bromide of potassium. c'!lo-
ride Of bismuth, chinoidine, chinchoni
dia, quinine and several Others. All
this I did under the advice of eminent
physicians.
Itwa while I was in this dcplori',i
condition that the claims MID" for
Kaskine, the new quinine, As as!":c!:ic
for malaria, were first brought 10 my
attention. knew nothing Of it, v:1Iuc
to justify my having any con;!d~ncc in
it, but as everything else had ta!::d |
deemed it my duty to try it, so began
its use, and its prompt and radical ef-
fects were Of the natHre of arevciaton
to me. Many people may think the
statement scarcely credible, but it is
fact that after only few days use Of
Kaskine all the leading symptoms in
my case were decidedly abated or
cease! altogether; and in few weeks
from the time l took the first dose
was cured.
This was about the first Of January,
and since then l have experienced no
recurrence of the malarial symptoms
in any form. A remedy of such ex-
ceptioral virtue for the cure OF malaria
ought to be commended and univer-
sally made known. l have therefore
urged it upon the attention Of my
friends, several Of whom have used it
with like good results in every case,
and it is with the greatest pleasure
and sincerity that commend Kaskine
to sufferers from malaria everywhere:
Respectfully yours,
J. D. H1RD, B. A.,
